Map & Areas

Quick answer: Belmont's Curse is a classic Metroidvania — one interconnected world centered on 1499 Paris, with save rooms, fast-travel points and key items gating progression. The full map gets documented at launch.

What's confirmed about the world

• 1499 Paris — the central hub city, with the occult under the surface
• Classic Metroidvania structure — not a roguelike; the world is handcrafted and fixed
• Save rooms — series-standard checkpoints
• Fast-travel points — connect distant areas once unlocked
• Key items — gate progression; combined with Arcana abilities, they form the exploration puzzle

What the structure implies

• Areas will connect through Paris's gothic landmarks — expect catacombs, cathedrals and noble estates
• The Vampire Killer's traversal use (Weapons) suggests vertical exploration layers
• Boss locations double as Arcana unlocks — Bosses are map milestones

Coming at launch

The complete area map — every room, item location, boss arena and fast-travel node — goes up within days of October 15. This is the page 100% completionists will want; bookmark it.
